Baggage Claims and Tracing

What is a Checked Baggage Special Declaration of Value?

At Ryanair we do all we can to prevent the loss, delay or damage of checked in baggage. In the rare event of this occurring, our liability as per the Montreal Convention 1999 is limited to 1,131 Special Drawing Rights (approx. €1300) per person, unless a Special Checked Baggage Declaration of Value fee is paid for in advance. The payment of this fee raises the liability limit to 2,262 Special Drawing Rights (approx. €2600).

Customers can purchase this at the Airport Ticket Desk, the Checked Baggage Special Declaration of Value Fee must be paid for at each airport of departure.
